(a) A periodic tenancy or a tenancy at will can be terminated by either the landlord or the tenant only by giving to the other party written notice complying with this section, unless any of the following conditions is met:
1. The parties have agreed expressly upon another method of termination and the parties' agreement is established by clear and convincing proof.
2. Termination has been effected by a surrender of the premises.
3. Subsection (6) applies.
(b) A periodic tenancy can be terminated by notice under this section
only at the end of a rental period. In the case of a tenancy from year-to-year the end of the rental period is the end of the rental year even though rent is payable on a more frequent basis. Nothing in this section prevents termination of a tenancy for nonpayment of rent or breach of any other condition of the tenancy, as provided in s. 704.17 .
The bolded clause in Section 2(b) is what governs here. What this means is that notice has be one full rental period and no less than 28 days. If the rental period is a calendar month, then even if he gave you written notice on April 6, he cannot terminate until the end of May. The only caveat here is whether you committed any other breach of the lease. Since you stated that you paid the April rent on April 6th, I'm wondering if he decided to terminate because you are chronically late with your rent. That MIGHT give him cause to terminate with 30 day notice. The link above connect to the full set of statutes for landlord/tenant laws in WI so you can check to see if that constitutes a breach.
